Lightning Over Water

The Life and Death of an American maverick. From the Director of the Oscar Nominated film Buena Vista Social Club.

In 1979, award-winning German filmmaker Wim Wenders traveled to New York City to make a movie with legendary American auteur Nicholas Ray as he lay dying of terminal cancer. Surrounded by family and friends, the director of such Hollywood classics as Rebel Without A Cause, Johnny Guitar and They Live By Night reflects on a career of triumphs and comprises as he faces his final days with hope, humor and the fierce independent spirit that defined his greatest works. Together, Ray and Wenders create a film that is more than a documentary, telling an extraordinarily moving story about collaboration that goes beyond friendship, and ultimately, a life in cinema that transcends death itself. This is Lightning Over Water.
